Summary: Memory Leak in expatparser.py

Initial Comment:
Looks like there is a bound-function loop created in 
ExpatReader.reset() method. 
 
I've attached a script that demonstrates the leak as well as a work 
around. 
 
Here are some comments from pywebsvcs bug #585837 on 
sourceforge: 
 
... printing out the contents of gc.garbage shows  
 
 <bound method ExpatParser.start_element_ns of 
<xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser instance at 
0x816b17c>>, 
 <bound method ExpatParser.end_element_ns of 
<xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser instance at 
0x816b17c>>,
